What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 43.6% phosphorus

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kazeer [188]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d.   P2O5.

Explanation:

We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:

P :  43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076

O:  56.4 / 15.999 =  3.5252

1.4076 : 3.5252

= 1 : 2.5

= 2:5.

So the answer is P2O5.

A burner on a stove produces temperature. thermal energy. hotness. fire energy.
Aleksandr [31]

Question:

The options are;

a. Temperature

b. Thermal Energy

c. Hotness

d. Fire Energy

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. Thermal energy

Explanation:

A burner on a stove produces thermal energy which is used to raise the temperature of the metal container (kettle, pot or pans) in which items are placed for heating.

Thermal energy is the internal energy of the system given off as heat which when transferred from one body to another causes the temperature of the receiving body to rise. Thermal energy in a burner is given off when the gaseous fuel reacts or burns in the presence of or with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor in an exothermic reaction.

4C + 5H₂ + 13/2O₂ (-125 kJ) → C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O (-2877 kJ).

2. Write the chemical equations for the neutralization reactions that occurred when HCL and NaOH were added to the buffer soluti
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

HCI(aq)+CH3COONa(s) ----> CH3COOH(aq)+NaCl(s)

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) ----> CH3COONa(s)+H2O(l)

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resists changes in acidity or alkalinity. A buffer is able to neutralize a little amount of acid or base thereby maintaining the pH of the system at a steady value.

A buffer may be an aqueous solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

The equations for the neutralizations that occurred upon addition of HCl or NaOH are;

HCI(aq)+CH3COONa(s) ----> CH3COOH(aq)+NaCl(s)

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) ----> CH3COONa(s)+H2O(l)
